What happen with a kill is that partially written messages can linger in the spool/mailbox. Messages won't be lost in any case, but garbage could be created by a kill. You could send a SIGINT, wait 3-4 seconds and then a SIGKILL. This reduces the probability of garbage messages, but it does not completely eliminate it. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
